Help Byaruhanga patch the roof before the monsoon
The roof at Byaruhanga's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇰🇪 Nairobi, Kenya545 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Nairobi. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $480, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew who can help over three weekday mornings.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. I'll provide lunch, water and lots of thanks.
The work will be done on the ground and roof with proper harnesses. If you can only help for a few hours, that's welcome too.
Thank you for reading my story.

wishing you peace, Byaruhanga. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Bakersfield donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
